Avalanche Summary
Avalanche conditions are dangerous. You can easily trigger avalanches large enough to injure or kill you. Open, drifted slopes are the most dangerous. In the last few days, backcountry travelers triggered many avalanches from a distance. Avalanches can break wider and run farther than you expect. Recreating in flat or low-angle terrain might not be enough to keep you safe if you're connected to steep slopes above. Be aware of your surroundings and if there are other users below you. The best way to stay safe is to give most slopes steeper than about 30 degrees a wide buffer.
